Brownsville, home of the brave
Put in work in the street like a slave
Just sitting here pondering why it is that I am a functional imsonmniac. My night-owlishness cann get on some ill shT at times. I'm a completely drained from a rough Tuesday, yet I'm still up and Wednesday is my toughest day of the week. My a$$ is in big trouble.
I'ma do what I wanna, quiet as kept
[Raise hell!] Til I was tired of stress, yes lord!
If the title sounds familiar, then you apparently know what the fuq is up. I'm not a fan of violence, but like my man HC said, sometimes you gotta just let loose. However, I so disagree with the notion that their sound is purely fight music. Billy Danze and Li'l Fame are my peoples for life. And while I am still torn on the inside over their aligning with G-Unit, I'll let it slide. I can recall blasting Ante Up way before anyone really knew what the fuq was going on. As a matter of fact, I can still remember that punk a$$ cop that piulled me over on Euclid ave in Syracuse because she thought I was "taunting" her, when in fact, I was just humming the chorus to Ante Up. Ok, ok, so maybe I wasn't humming. Ok, ok, so maybe it was the "YAP That Fool!" part of the chorus. Nonetheless, it was my feel good music and she put a damper on my muthafuqingnight. I still don't even know how it ended up being an aboveground hit, but that shT was lovely to be able to hear them at a party a month later and see other folks really get into it. Truly some classic shT. It's great when you follow someone doing their thing, persevering over time putting their blood, sweat, & tears into the craft and to finally get a brief moment of shine. Some may only recognize them as those yelling dudes or the rock & rap cats, but we know what fuqing time it is. Just like people, hip-hop comes in many shapes and sizes and sub-genres and colors and decibels. So here's my personal shout-out and thank you for two brothers who've held me down over the years. True examples of doing whatever the fuq you want to do and not taking no shT from nobody. Salute!
